It has many options for Vegetarians, but we need to specifically ask them to make it vegetarian, else they use the chicken broth for cooking the pasta. The pastas are really yum. …
Chen Wei
Simple yet satisfying. Tried the penne and garlic chicken(cooked just right) and roasted brocolli as sides. …

Went to Kinex for dinner and chanced upon Pasta Play at the basement food court. Saw quite a number of diners queuing so we decided to try it out. Their pasta were surprisingly very good and flavourful, considering selling at rather affordable prices. Shall come back to try other options.
